Education

If your school needs legal advice on performance management or grievance procedures, our specialist education law solicitors are the perfect solution.

As a key part of our community, education is one of our core focus areas. Clapham & Collinge provide an extensive range of legal services and support to education providers in Norfolk. Our specialist education solicitors are able to assist with all aspects of education law, from academy conversions, HR support and employment law to procurement, education and commercial issues.

We work with Headteachers, Business Managers, Governors and the school to provide clear, independent and practical guidance on a full range of legal issues, tailored to your schools specific needs. At Clapham & Collinge, our advice is underpinned with research and we keep you updated on the latest policies, procedures and legal developments.

We offer a fixed fee retainer package that enables you to set an annual budget for all of your legal needs – Your own specialist legal department from as little as £200 per month.
